NOT A MUGWUMP.

The Lewiston Me,cS roundly denoun-
ced governor Stevenson lately for APP
pointing a republican as superintendent
of public instruction in this territory,
an office, by the way, worth $l,7O0 per
year. The comments of the Ne,cs were
generally approved by the democracy
at the time, but later information shows
that the appointment was dictated by
circumstances which the governor could
not wholly control. In his message to
the legislature the governor recon-
mended that the Office of public instruc
ton be separated from that of the
controller, who formerly filed both
positions ex-olIicio. The bill hung fire
but was finally passed and sent to the
governor for his approval half an-hour
before the final adjournment, and as
the bill requires that the council shall
confirm the appointment, the governor
hastily consulted with the democratic
councilmen to fix upon nominee, but
as they could suggest nobody, the gov.
ernor sent in the nanTe Of S. W. Moody
and the council unanimously confirmed
him. Moody is well qualified for the
office, and the only objection to him il
his being republican. The public are
not much interested in the wranglt
over the offices, and we only give i
this space to Offset the democratic kick.

Tie president allowed the Edmunds-
Tucker bill to become a law by limlta-
ton. We knew we'll that democratic
president would never consent to sign
such an un-American and un-constitu-
tional law, and it is amazing that be
had not the moral courage to veto it.
The law clothes the U. S. marshal oi
Utah with power to make arrests with
out warrant of law, confscates the pro-
perty of the Mormon church, and de-
prives those people of the rights of SELF
government. If an attempt were made
to enforce similar law in any othe
state or territory than Utah, or on any
other denomination than the Mormons
there would be bloodshed from th'

court term year is all this county
needs, but our legislature passed a
law making two court terms year in
each county obligatory, entailing upon
the taxpayers a vast and useless ex~
pense. In our opinion territorial leg

administration OF justicef fcheapened and
expedited. 10
Many farmers are unable to obtain
enough seed wheat to carry out their
plans of farming this year. With such
a grain growing season as this promises
to be it is double misfortune. Our
experience is that times never were so
good on this prairie as in the winter of
$3.50, following the harvest of 'So,
when SO much wheat was hauled to
Lewiston and sold for cash. Another
big crop or two would put Camas prai-
rie firmly on its feet, but so long as its
people don't SOW, they can't reap.
